Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

Who: Everybody!
What: The Halloween Ball is finally here.
When: Evening of October 31st. (Or earlier, for those who arrive pre-Ball to take advantage of the safety bubble.)
Where: In the village's main plaza.
Summary: After one of the most grueling weeks Luceti's ever known, it finally all comes to a head when a massive, spooky tent appears over the plaza. Once night falls, you never know what might happen...
Rating: Anywhere from PG to R for language or graphic descriptions, most likely.

It happens at midnight.

Without even a hint of a whisper, faster than you can even blink, the tent appears; a towering monstrosity of dirty, ripped canvas in stripes of black and red and white, swallowing the plaza whole. For most of the day it sits, silent and empty, with its great main flaps pulled open to show only inky blackness inside.

Step inside, however, and you'll see it's dimly lit with silver shafts of light that streak in through all those rips and tears. As foreboding as it appears, it's strangely peaceful inside.

Come 7:00 on the dot, that quiet, empty interior will instantaneously transform for the purposes of the evening. Even this sudden change, unlike many Luceti resident have undergone lately, is not as eerie as one might expect. Despite the gothic trappings, the blood punch fountain, there's something a little benign about it. Perhaps this is meant to be a reward for all that suffering you've been forced to endure for almost a week now.

Or maybe -- just maybe -- and who would ever think such a thing? -- it's not so benign after all.

(so, so sorry this is late, guys. have at it, comment-spam style! also, optional suggestion: put the time of day in your subject line title so we know if your character is showing up before or during the Ball itself.)

[Well, hey there. Riku here happens to be strolling on by, taking a look at his surroundings.

When he sees Jack, though? He laughs. Sorry, man, but that costume.]
all7seas: (AHH No WAY!)

Oi, Riku? Something funny you'd like to share?

[identity profile] stilldontgotit.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
That's an interesting costume you've got.

[Snerk.]
all7seas: (exCUSE me?)

It becomes even more fascinating after one is hung by one leg from a tree, I'm told.

[identity profile] stilldontgotit.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Don't tell me that actually happened.
all7seas: (a LOT mad)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-02 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Didn't mean for me, lad. So tell me: what's been happening to you in all this madness?

[identity profile] stilldontgotit.livejournal.com 2010-11-03 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hallucinations, and a lot of them.

[He shrugs.]

But I can handle illusions. They may seem real, but I've been through worse.
all7seas: (must be a tiny thing behind the Pearl)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-03 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Aye; a vision generally isn't dangerous, unless it drives you to run screaming over a cliff. Otherwise--[He shrugs.]

[identity profile] stilldontgotit.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but you'd have to be pretty out of it to go that far.
all7seas: (any way you slice it)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-04 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
.....This from a young man who can "handle illusions." Don't worry, Riku lad--you'll never reach that state of mind. Too down to earth, you.

[identity profile] stilldontgotit.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh. Thanks.

[Down to earth, huh?]

It'd take a lot for me to lose it, anyway.
all7seas: (hmmmm....)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-04 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Really. Just what would it take, lad?

[identity profile] stilldontgotit.livejournal.com 2010-11-07 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Darkness, and a lot of it.

But I don't plan on going down that road again.
all7seas: (it is pronounced "egregious")

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-08 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Well no one ever plans to go down that road, now do they?

[identity profile] stilldontgotit.livejournal.com 2010-11-10 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
No, but I know what pushed me down that path before. I've learned enough to stay on the right track.
all7seas: (off the map)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-10 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Good lad; I hope that you're able to keep your feet firmly on the track of light. Until you reach a fork in the path and must once again choose from the darkness...
